with obama safely in the white house for another term, house republicans say they will no longer try to repeal the affordable care act. but they are putting some intense scrutiny on how those changes are taking place. the house ways and means committee is now issuing a subpoena for health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. they're demanding to know how the agency is using taxpayer money to pay for p.r. and advertising campaigns. health and human services has signed at least two contracts. one of those worth $20 million. the house ways committee says americans deserve to know where their money is going. meanwhile, employer health insurance premiums just saw their lowest increase in the last 15 years. at the beginning of the decade, premiums were going up by 10% to 15% but this year, the increase was just 4%. now the bad news, this does not necessarily mean lower cost for you. employers know when the healthcare reform goes into full effect in 2014, they will have to cover more people. so they're controlling those costs by shifting them on to you. many employers are now off

perhaps that's true, but i think more likely having worked in the white house, what happens when these folks are re-elected is they immediately think about their legacy. does president obama really want middle class americans to see their tax rates go up even if temporarily and potentially a recession? that will be on his watch. >> it'll also be on the republican's watch. >> right. but he's the leader. he's the one with the bully pulpit. >> but he's made it very clear that he doesn't want taxes to go up for 98% and if congress doesn't act and in particular the house doesn't act, the senate is prepared to do that. if the house doesn't act, i don't think they will win that argument, one. point two is in terms of getting to the deficit numbers, it's not just revenues. if you go back to where the president was in august of 2011, he was willing to go for every $3 in spending cuts $1 in revenue. the way you get at the $1.6 trillion figure is by getting into significant entitlement reform. and everything as he has said, the president has said is on the table. medicare and medicaid, they're on
